This Weekend on BluesMobile Radio: Janiva Magness

Hour 1: Janiva Magness

Elwood welcomes the fabulous singer and Detroit native Janiva Magness, fresh from falling in love, getting married, and making a new record, LOVE WINS AGAIN. It will be spun, along with some BB King, up and coming singer Danielle Nicole, and some other famous Detroit bluesmakers, John Lee Hooker, Bettye LaVette, and the White Stripes. Elwood closes the show with new music from Canadian producer and guitar man, Steve Dawson.

Hour 2: Money Blues

Break out the calculator and turn up the volume! Tax time is toe-tapping time as Elwood brings us music to crunch numbers by. He gives you Barrett Strong, the O’Jays, BB King (with the Stones!), Ray Manzarek (with Roy Rogers!), the Coasters, Keb’Mo’, Slim Harpo, Roomful of Blues, and a soulful rarity from Boz Scaggs (with the AMAZING Duane Allman.) That ought to ease the pain!
